✨ Technical Specifications
The HD Reserva Malbec is a deeply personal creation by winemaker Hector Durigutti, designed to showcase the unique, high-altitude terroir of Paraje Altamira in Mendoza's Uco Valley. Sourced from old vines planted at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level, this wine benefits from extreme diurnal temperature shifts and complex, stony soils rich in calcium carbonate. The winemaking process respects the fruit and its origin, utilizing native yeasts and concrete vessels for fermentation before aging in French oak barrels. This approach yields a Malbec defined by its chalky minerality, vibrant dark fruit, and elegant structure, representing a refined, terroir-driven expression of Argentina's signature grape.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2002 by brothers and winemakers Héctor and Pablo Durigutti, Durigutti Family Winemakers is rooted in the historic terroir of Las Compuertas in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention and deep respect for agricultural heritage, the estate crafts terroir-driven wines using native yeasts, gentle extraction, and maturation vessels such as concrete eggs. While deeply committed to revitalizing centenarian vineyards in Mendoza, the brothers also champion diverse regional expressions sourced from high-altitude terroirs across Argentina, ranging from the northern valleys to Patagonia. Durigutti is internationally acclaimed for its expressive, finely structured interpretations of Malbec, Bonarda, and Cabernet Franc, alongside premium flagship bottlings under the Familia Durigutti and Gran Reserva lines.
